"May I always feel how I feel when I'm about to eat cake."
A quote I heard on a Moth podcast sums up Josephine House entirely. Clean bright whites make the place feel as fresh and crisp as the prosecco in your hand. Enjoy a glass on the lawn or in one of the cozy nooks in the back. This is where you go when you want to show off your Sunday best or just feel good.
Take a moment and a breath as you repeat the mantra above while taking your first bite of chocolate cake. • • •

it's like you are walking into ina garten's home. lovely ambiance and great service (something that is lacking in austin). a seasonal menu that boasts local produce and exciting entrees. quality place to eat lunch and dinner. they also host fantastic guest chef dinners, so def check that out. and i still need to go to steak night on Monday's!
since their menu changes, its hard to suggest fave items. but i've never been disappointed by this place. def place to take out-of-town visitors when you want something a bit nicer but not uber stuffy.
you may want to call ahead and make a reservation. they recommend it. • • •

This is the perfect date spot or to meet up with a friend or two--light but yummy food, great drinks, and smooth service. They even have Stumptown Coffee--my favorite! The patio is perfect for sitting back with a few drinks and a bread basket. A friend treated me to lunch otherwise I'm not sure I could afford to go this place on a regular/casual basis. If I could just win lotto, I'd be here all the time!

Pros:
The atmosphere is rustic and cozy. They've paid close attention to the details of the bathroom, etc.
The menu is frequently updated, so it's hard to get bored here. The hash and biscuits and gravy were equally delicious.
The fresh-squeezed orange juice is always incredible.
Cons:
The service has been a bit slow both times. But the waiters were nice.

Great Lunch; enjoyed both of our entrees; splitting the hand pies and pomodoro. So what could make good food taste even better when it comes with great service. thanks to our waitress Summer; she was helpful and enjoyed having fun with helping us make our decisions. then she goes above and beyond with a comp berry tart for a belated birthday celebration.

One of the first things I did on my visit to Austin was ride the bus across town to W. Lynn and walk about 10 minutes up to Josephine House. One word: adorable. I wanted to take this restaurant home with me. Inventive but satisfying food and a light and refreshing cocktail I enjoyed at my solo lunch without shame. I would absolutely love to sit at one of their outdoor tables some afternoon and clink cocktails with girlfriends for hours but alas, I was just a visitor to Austin. The staff was incredibly friendly and I told them I'd be back... it didn't happen in my few days this visit, but next time for sure. • • •

I was so impressed with Josephine House the first time I went last month. The decor is absolutely beautiful but really it's the food that blew me away. The Chef sent out a tasting menu and each bite was incredible, each plate I wished to eat more of!!! I'm very impressed and eager to go back. Parking is a bit of a challenge but that wouldn't stop me from going back. A great lunch spot for friends, family, or a couple.
